by an apparently respectable man and woman
yesterday morning. The gentleman, stepping
forward, asked the Sub-Treasurer's assistant, Mr.
Munson, to obige him with large bills for 81 600 in
the request, but found after they left that they
had secured 500 more than was their right. He
Immediately followed, but could not find them In
the crowded streets They were seen TO separate

direction The secret-servtce men were put on the
case within five minutes, but yet have found no
trace OF the pair. The latter seemed perfectly
familiar with the Office even so much so as TO speak
Of one Of the officials who WAS not present.
An hour latter, addressed gentleman ordered
gold watch OF Duhme Co., jewellers, at 4th

it be sent to his room, where he would pay for it

An Absurd Story About the Late Lord
Lyons Palmed Off on Them.

Special Cable Dispatch TO The EVENING STAR
LONDON, Dec. LA curious hoax was perpe-
trated on the London newspapers about Lord
Lyons, the late ambassador to Paris, who recently
died at the residence OF his relative, the Duke OF
Norfolk, In Saint James Square, London. some
body wrote from here saying that although Lord
Lyons was said 10 have become q Catholic, he was
really never considered by the Catholics as one OF
them, and always attended a Protestant church In
Paris, and only adopted the Catholic religion In
order to complete his will in favor OF lady rela-
tive. The correspondent did not state why It was
necessary TO become a Catholic 10 make viii In
favor OF anybody he chose, but as the
letter was signed IF. Howard" and as
Howard is the wel-known family or the Duke OF
Norfolk, il obtained insertion. Lord Lyons private
such person as "F. Howard" is known 70 the fam
ily II is difficult TO see the object OF the hoax,
unless 1t has some religious motive Lord Lyons
became a thorough F.eDchman during his long
stay In France, and the breaking up OF Old friend
ships and associations through his dismissal Is be-
neved TO have done something TO hasten his end.
DIsTRCsT OF LORD LyTroN.
Lord Lytton, who VIII soon enter on the duties
OF ambassador at Paris, is particularly obnoxious
the liberals; therefore IL is thought Lord sails
bury would have exercised wise discretion In ap-
pointing less violent politician TO so important
and delicate a post. Lyttons letter OF inStruc-
tons TO the British agent at Cabul 70 find a pre-
text OF quarreling with the ameer, is held by the
liberals 70 have been the sole cause OF the Afghan
war, and they express fears lest Lytton's actions
may tend to injure the present good understand
ing OF England and France.

CHICAGO, Dec. ia San Francisco special says:
JAS Hawkins, who was supposed 70 be serving
sentence OF twelve months Imprisonment In the
county jail at San JOSE has been discovered walk
Ing around the city. Harkins, who is known as
s'Uncle Jimmy" is the head OF the opium snug
CLING ring which few years ago controlled the
custom-house and the United states commissioners
and conducted operations on a scale that made
several OF the conspirators very wealthy. Har-
ktns owns three large ranches in the best part OF
Santa Cruz County. The crime Of which be was
convicted was the bribing OF United States Com
missioner o. Br1en TO discharge two boatmen caught
smuggling some ST., 900 worth OF opium from
Paciric Mail steamer lying in San Francisco Bay.
OBrien WAS once indicted for receiving the money
but was not convicted. He maintained that the
money was merely borrowed from Harbins who
showed a note TO that effect. Since then O'Brien
has steadily descended In the social and financial
scale, and though young man, Is complete
wreck Some months ago he confessed that he
had perjured himself at the first examination, and
that he had been bribed by Harkins. HarkIns was
indicted and sentenced 10 one years Imprisonment
by Judge Hoffman, OF the United States District
Court. He was given his choice OF jails and Sc
lected that of San Jose. Yesterday he was seen
stroling around the town without a guard, and
